So far so good! Previously on my stock battery I used to get 7 hours max on heavy use ..running aokp 4.4.2 rom on HSDPA+ connection ..now I surpassed 7 hours and still 80%!
The only downside so far that it takes lots of time to recharge (unless you put the capacity in consideration )

You bet and you can always charge it back up if it gets around 50% and at least that way it will not take so long to charge.

Sure. i will find it from amazon. but we need brand name
The brand name is meaningless since it's a Chinese aftermarket battery, they all probably come out of the same back garden factory in Shenzen. Just pick the cheapest one you can find.

Thanks for the info
in really is about 5000mah i think..... maybe initially was better, after 3 montsh of use life decreased a little.
it is a good battery better than original. but it is 2 battery IN PARALLEL.
1 battery chinese WILL NEVER BE 3200mah like original. so it it is 2500 real....................... 2500 x 2 = 5000 mah about. a good amount, not the promised 7800.

Yea, I've tried all those apps, task killers, battery savers. Battery life is my least concern now since I have batteries.
My problem is connections. In high 4G areas I'm usually only getting 3g and I get a lot of no data connections.

Dayum. How do you charge all those?
Just a suggestion, see how your battery life fares if you keep your screen brightness under 25% (if you can).
I use two wall chargers. I average 3-4 batteries a day which works out well for me. I've tried the lowest setting I could possibly go with still seeing the screen, didn't seem to help much believe it or not.
Since I've gotten the backup batteries I just have it on auto brightness now.
Aside from the battery life, I'm more concerned now about the limited 4G I get and no data at all at times.
I would also think even though the battery cover is built well, I think it will wear out from all the removals.

I worry about same thing removing frequently. I found this supposedly oem but from Hong Kong. But if you look at images has contacts like the original back. Ordered and will have it in about another week or so.

I guess it is original equipment though, so may actually be worth it to have one as a backup. Thanks for link

How did it go with Lingosbox.com? How many days did the item arrive and did you encounter any problem with them?
I do this with my phone. I have around 4 batteries and I have battery only charger. So I just replace the batteries when it runs out. Can I do the same?

lol no !
tablets do not have easily removable batteries but you get 10 hours of use from a single complete charge on the 10.1

For those that are always looking for more battery life and do not mind carrying a extra piece of hardware. I have recently purchased the Anker2 external battery found at this link: http://www.amazon.com/8400mAh-Exter...PRQ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328040410&sr=8-2
This lasted me on a 12 hour+ trip with juice to spare. its relatively small and can fit in a pocket of small bag. Just putting it out there for the community as an option.
Great Recommendation
This definitely is a great recommendation. I bought it last week and have been using it. Love the battery charger. Better investment than spare batteries out there.
Thanks for the heads up!
Thought it's great for my upcoming trip! Having to carry the cable around is a bummer, but better than constantly opening the battery door I guess!
Has anyone here bought the 2000mAh Extended batteries?
How long do they run for??

Get a battery app such as better battery stats. I bet it is charging, but since playing a game or a movie will drain your battery...
Do like I did a while back, spent 22 bucks on a QCell 4200mah extended battery.

Depends. Its certainly not abnormal. Depends how much power is being used. Games more so.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
If i get this right the games or movies are draining the battery faster than it can charge. And considering how long it takes to charge thats sounds right. I looked at a few of the extended battery packs. Saw one on ebay 20,000 mah for $25. Quick question wont they be the same as a charger being plugged in and still charge at the same slow rate or are they actually an extension to the battery? Sry for the noob questions first phone ive owned that the battery didnt last a few days.

I'm not even sure what normal is anymore.
Use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
To check your maximum when charging. It should be 1000 (or 999) when on AC, 475 on USB 2 and 900 on USB 3.
This might not work with your model S3, I don't know it, you're in the wrong forum
Nope your right it doesnt work. Thanks for your help. Gonna go look for the right forum

That's some good life there. How do you like dealing with the extra weight of that? Also is the case a rubber feel or smooth? I'm trying the ZL 3000 because I wasn't sure about the extra bulk and read it covers the speaker.

just returned the one I bought on amazon. I think I could handle the size and weight (even though they are substantial), I couldn't handle the loss of signal due to the battery covering the antennas. They claim there isn't signal loss but it was very obvious.

The battery has a small area cut into it to path the speaker out the bottom of the phone. It sounds pretty loud to me, but I will have to swap back to the original battery to check the difference.
I have gone 3 days of pretty medium usage. Its definitely an impressive battery!

Yep same here through my second cycle now. When it gets to 1% I power off remove battery and replace and power on to 4-15%. Normally run a battery waster app to drain. Been meaning to exercise same principle to charging but lazy about it. When I get through 5 cycles I'll probably check out one of the calibration apps. Crossing fingers...

Its pretty hefty but I've gotten used to it. I would say it triples weight and thickness of the phone. IMO peace of mind knowing my phone will always last all day no matter what I throw at it is worth it. Lol coming from a iPhone I had "battery shock".

LOL yep my stock battery and 2 extra hyperions are going to be collecting lots of dust.
This thing is a beast! This is first day after initial charge. Pretty heavy use. Stock battery would still be going as well but with only maybe 25% instead of 77%.
I did notice that my percentage actually goes up by 1% occasionally even I turn screen off. You guys get that as well?
My battery has gone from 63% to 67% in the last hour. Lol
